“So wonderful to see he was having a good time with this. Johnny Depp life for 50th Anniv Earth Day Concert,” one wrote on Twitter.

Depp officially joined Instagram on April 16 and immediately gained a million followers. At present, the “Edward Scissorhands” star has 3.9 million followers and counting. “Iron Man” star Robert Downey Jr. is one of his followers.

Days before Depp made his first post on the social media platform, there were already rumors that he would be joining Instagram. One fan pointed out a new account named after the actor. However, at the time, there were no posts yet and it had no profile photo. Some even questioned if it was legitimate because there are a lot of posers online, but it turned out to be true.

After the account was verified, Depp added his photo and shared his first post. His fans were delighted to welcome him on social media.

Just recently, Depp entertained fans with his napkin folding skills. He filmed himself folding various napkins and surprised fans by bringing a napkin formed like a bra to his chest. Depp’s followers were very pleased with the hilarious skit.
